Noah Bowman has retired, I now have Dylan Marineau qualifying. Still don’t think Howe will recover in time for Olympic Trials. For women’s freestyle skiing I have Naomi Urness now qualifying obviously, replacing Charlie Fontaine. Ashley Koehler interestingly wasn’t on the start lists for the first WCs, I’ll keep her there for now but maybe might replace her with Berkley Brown or Maya Mikkelsen if she isn’t on any of them. Now have Madison Pearman making the team in speed skating. I still have Jasmine Baird making it despite finishing 30th and 23rd in her first two WCs, still coming back from a lengthy injury and I trust she can Edit: Oh and Hoffos over Schmidt now

Naeslund looks like she hasn’t lost a step in her first race back from injury, dominant heat win Would be very surprised if she doesn’t win gold at the Olympics…

9-4 final over after 9 ends. Men's quota for !!

Three straight steals and it's 4-2 over at the break, China with hammer. A few misses by the back end of the Chinese team is all that's differentiated the two teams.

Love the celebration

6-5 over Quota for Japan!!

4-3 over at the break, Norway with hammer.

Time for the women's 1/2 game!

Winter sports galore (Curling OQE, WCs of Freestyle Skiing, Snowboarding, Bobsleigh, Skeleton, Alpine Skiing, Speed Skating, Cross Country Skiing, Biathlon, Ski Jumping) and the typical NHL, NFL, NBA. Edit; There’s also a GSOC event and a Mixed Doubles SS event, we’ll see.

In all scenarios where wins, advances so doesn’t really matter Edit: Ignore me.

And with taking a 5 over it’s all but a guarantee. v. in the 1/2 game, loser taking on for the final men’s quota.

Looking increasingly likely that it’ll be for the third men’s playoff spot.

v. in the 1/2 game, and the loser will take on for the final women's Olympic quota

It looks like the 1/2 women's game will be live streamed on the Olympic Channel, unsure about the rest.

Injured her knee badly during a training run in Gudauri, should be back in a few weeks to 1 month. I really feel bad for her though, she keeps getting injured right before the Olympics. It happened before Pyeongchang, then Beijing, now Milano-Cortina.

7th for Coralie Godbout in women's -78kg at the Tokyo Grand Slam!
